HD598 vs. HD650

I bought HD598's unimpressed

Rec'd my K7xx's today from the last drop, awaiting the Magni 2 I picked up on Sunday. Looking forward to the combo, and comparing the 598SE's to the K7xx's.- Mattybumpkin

Thanks for the input on the bass, been curious about it. Also, how is the treble on them? Extended, harsh, smooth, etc. Thanks,- Mattybumpkin

Well, just pulled the trigger and bought a pair of HD598SE's, and signed up for the K7xx on Massdrop. I guess I will be eating box mac & cheese for the next couple weeks..............- Mattybumpkin

Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
Well, I guess I just have to "jump in" and start doing some comparisons; 598's, K7xx, 400s, etc. Thank you for the insights, they sound like they may be what I am looking for. Regards, Matty- Mattybumpkin

Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
Hi everyone, looking for some input if I could. How would the 598's be with blues (Cray, McClain, BB, Clapton, etc. with rthymn bass) as well as with acoustics/vocals (Jackson Brown, James Taylor, Dido, Nora)? I am trying to decide between these and the K7xx. I would be running them...- Mattybumpkin

Regarding the tubes, It's just what I have in my system to use. My CD player is tubed, but I plan on buying a SS headphone amp (Magni, etc.) to use for listening through hp's.- Mattybumpkin

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
So, from my reading of almost all of the 240 pages of this thread, and Reddit, etc., it appears that the K7xx would be an overall better performer and scale better than the HD598? But, with the HD598 price being $80-$100 less than the K7xx, what about from a value perspective? I would be...- Mattybumpkin
